Our new ALBUM OF THE WEEK is...
Memory Game, by Meredith Monk
Happy listening!
About the album:
The beauty and peculiarity of Memory Game is that it is built entirely from new arrangements of Monk’s music. Arrangements are, effectively, time machines: they begin as a conversation between the composer and the arranger—or between the composer and a previous self. They carry the potential for both affirmation and change in the re-interpretation of the piece. To a composer, an arrangement can mean a circling-back, a chance to try new procedures on a familiar set of materials, or a chance to re-examine ideas a second (or third, or fourth) time. Arrangements aren’t merely a re-figuring of the same pieces into a different structure; they carry with them all of the knowledge and experience from the intervening time between the work now and the work then, from the composer now to the composer then.
